What is Encapsulation?

    Encapsulation is the filling of empty capsules with the desired drug. It is done using two principles viz. Tamping and Dosating. Our machines work on both these principles. In both the principles, the powder formulation is formed into a slug which is delivered to the body of the capsules. This process ensures encapsulating hard gelatin capsules with precise dose, gives better weight control and with improved yield. Automatic capsule-filling machines are designed to cater to a wide range of formulation with powder/granules, pellets/sustained release spherical pellets, tablets, filled capsules and combination of these.

Automatic capsule-filling machines are capable of encapsulating wide range of capsules from size 000 to size 5 hard gelatin capsules with a varied output range of 6000, 25000, 40000 and 90000 capsules per hour.

These machines are provided with productivity enhancing features, which can be handled by a single operator.
